Tropical Tablescape If you thought tropical plants only belong beachside, these rich centerpieces will help you see them in a new way. To make, group ferns, cyclamen leaves, and Christmas cactus in glass vases placed along a softly printed runner. Gilt-rimmed plates, beeswax candles, and gold flatware complete the pretty scene.

Set in Stone This project couldn't be simpler. Hit the flea market for a frame, paint it green, then cut a "Malachite Mineral" sticker to fit (wallmonkeys.com). Apply it to a piece of foam core, insert into the frame, then pin guests' names to the front.

Mineral Spirits To make this snazzy drinks tray, cut the decal to size, stick it to the bottom of a tray, and voilà! Next, add signature drinks that play up the palette. Cucumber purée gives the Stealth Margarita its hue. White rum, basil simple syrup, and honeydew melon liven up the Garden Daiquiri. This Apple and Rosemary Fizz puts a nonalcoholic spin on the real thing. Garnish Sangria Blanco with slices of star fruit, kiwi, green apple, lime, and whole grapes. An Oyster Shooter gets a kick from Agua Verde (juiced celery, tomatillos, and cucumber) and green-pepper tabasco.
